You know you may have a problem when you buy something even when you have no idea how to cook it. Case in point: I’d read so much about Meyer lemons that when I was at the grocery store and I saw a bag, I was so excited to buy them. Until I came home and realized I had no idea what to do with them. So I googled and one thing that I made with one lemon that I really liked was Mark Bittman’s Instant Preserve (1 chopped lemon, rind and all, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, let it sit for at least 30 mins was what I used to try it out)....

Thinly sliced pieces of sirloin steak, marinated, then cooked until juicy and just a little bit charred. Yep, this went down well with the whole family.

My kids love it when I add fruit to salad (apples and black grapes are always a winner, but this time I went with pomegranate and mango), and it really does make the old cucumber/leaves combination much more interesting....
